Located in a very distinct district in The Jordanian Capital, Jabal Al Waibdeh
“Mount Waibdeh” is one of the oldest inhibited areas in the history of
Amman, the Coffee place was chosen to have a very deconstructionist and
provocative look in order to make it stand out from the crowed of traditional

The narrow voids linking between buildings are interlocking at
different points, these points allow activity to transform and
change so it is reflecting the motion of cars and pedestrians
withinthatarea.
Thebuildingsevolvedovertimeinanarithmeticwayinaseries

This growth in length is equal to the change in time, and the
continuity and flawlessness of time induces us to think of 1
continuous structure such as a folded structure.
When observing the area's skyline of the nearby buildings,
each level of the surroundings, can be combined and
compressed into a multilevel structure, thus creating a folded
sectional grid, jumping in
and about 6 levels, each

The ability to store more
books on an inclined bended
slab is of vital importance to the
projects economical survival, angular walls allow for easy
leveling, thus a ramp was created that crosses one level of
bookshelves right onto another level, and up towards another
rampthatleadstotheoutsideterraces.

Located in one of Jordan’s most visited areas, Jabal Amman “Mount Amman”
the area is a very rich cultural and urban space. The Computer History Museum
was established as a non-profit organization in 1999 in the united states. The
Museum is dedicated to the preservation and celebration of computing history.
It is home to one of the largest international collections of computing artefacts
in the world, encompassing computer hardware, ephemera, photographs,
moving images, documents and software.

To conceptualize the design; since the functional
requirements of a museum are quite limited, it was
easy to symbolize the conception to include chips
eachcomprisinganarchitecturalprogram,thusbeing
analogous to the machine language of a computer,
with interconnecting paths forming an analogous
circulation pattern, which introduces a sequential
programming of the visitor as he passes through the
so called units. The Sketches show the primary
formation of the spaces in elevation form , it is clear
how the auditorium space is buried underneath and
the rest of the museum is composed of
interconnected spaces that overlap each other and
areconnected.

Theprojectdealswithmanydesignaspects,focusingprimarily
on the subject of evidence based design EBD, the project
included a variety of healthcare design ideas incorporated and

In its essence the and theplacebo pill effect
interactionbetweenthebodyand
the mind was of major
importance, hence this
evidence based healing
environment.
This healing environment must
reflect a positive working environment for the doctors also,
hence the creation of this experience based
economy overruns the service based
economy.
This kind of economy (experienced based is now leading the
market e.g branding), for that the creation of a memorable
experience makes people place a higher value on it (this is
known as scripting the experience), for an experience is
basically the knowledge, occurrence and the feelings that
takes place, and so making this project as a healing stage was
themajorconcept.

Schematic and Conceptual Design for Le - Meridian Hotel Extension in

The concept was developed as a direct relationship between
the site analysis results and the client's needs. The project
emerged as a transparent building allowing for the maximum
useofdaylight andthestunning viewsofthesite.Theexterior
façades represent a dynamic transition between the
surrounding buildings to a building that suites its location as a
high-techlandmarkforthe21stcentury.
Influenced by the Fiberglass reinforced concrete cladding
style of the 1960s Iskan's commercial building, the bands of
GRC sequentially open up in dynamic steps to reveal more
daylight and views. This corresponds to the clients' needs of
more ample daylight and views that were not present in the
nearby Meridian and the Iskan building. The location of the
GRC used in the building is located in the northern elevation
of the building that is by nature lacking in natural daylight and
isfacingtheoldbuildings,facadesthusblockinganyviews.
These GRC steps open up slowly towards the north, thus
providing necessary shading during summer daylight when
the sun is almost perpendicular to the building and is
strongest in the northeastern and northwestern parts of the
sky during the morning and evening. The GRC panels lose
their influence towards the south elevation to allow for natural
daylight to enter during winter times when the sun is lowest in
the sky and tends to be present more in the south. The
southern elevation is however treated with high tech shading
devices that can block the sun completely in the summer
whenneeded.

The glass in the building was designed to be of transparent
LOW e glazing with low reflectance, this reduces glare to the
surrounding Shmesani residential area and maintains a
beautiful exterior connectivity from inside to outside providing
amorewelcomingexperience.
The building uses floor landscaping in various areas, unlike
the landscaping treatment in the ISKAN commercial building
that represented a fungi problem in the flooring treatment.
The landscaping in this building is based upon
HYDROPONICS where soil is not present and the rate of
growth of greenery is multiplied. The trees represent shading,
increase the real estate value of the building and allow for
noise reduction and cancellation from the surrounding
highway streets. The mixture of glass, greenery and
WOODPLASTIC composites in the elevations allows for a
theme rarely present in the country and is suitable to be
represented as a new Icon as the Iskan commercial building
wasinthepast.

Upon Request of the Saudi government the design language
was reminiscent of that used in Makah, it is evident how
governmental buildings use this architectural language to
represent themselfs. A new introduction of roof screens and
Kufi font writing on were introduced to the language, the Kufi
fontisilluminatedwithLED lightduringnighttime.
The design passed through a long proposal phase before
getting into the final image, many sub-consultants
participated in the design process including interior designers

This project was the first project to be completely designed

Urban design proposal of a complex of 135 residential
and commercial towers to allow room for pilgrims in
Makah during pilgrimage season. The design included
the design of 9 tower types with variations, with various
podium designs to incorporate streets and parking, and
other vital facilitates, podium floor areas where between
2000 to 3000 m², tower floor areas ranged from 1000 m²
to 3000 m² with 15 to 25 floors per tower, giving a total
builtupareaofaround5.3millionm².
The urban design took the views towards the Kabah in
consideration, this how many towers were massed for
maximumexposuretowardstheHaram.
The client this time was more open minded to use a
modernized Islamic architecture but with a hint of
Maka’sLocalarchitecture.

grid, this grid was reflected on everything from tower
proportions, floor heights, windows, columns and other
typicalunits.
Islamic patterned screens and abstract Islamic
arabesque were used to promote the modern
architectural feel of the project. The wooden
Mashrabiah theme of Makah and the local yellow stone
in Mount Khandama natural formations were strong
elementsinthedefinitionofthetheme.
